Executive Overview
Network Security Due Diligence
Unfortunately,
Executives Bear The Probem.
Fortunately, NCS Bears
The Solution.
The potential penalties
and fines resulting from a security breach of a company’s data network pale in comparison to the loss of business
and confidence in a company by its customers. The impact on the careers
of executives presiding over such a breach is no less severe.
Today, managerial
"Due Diligence" must extend to data networks. They are the conduit for financial transactions and
the gateway to stored data containing sensitive and confidential customer information, trade secrets and other proprietary
information.
Today, government and industry regulations, increased scrutiny, penalties, and fines are becoming more prevalent
to encourage prevention and as punishment for breaches, thus making executive oversight more critical.
NCS provides executive
management with a proven methodology designed to pro-actively assess vulnerabilities in a company’s internal
and external networks BEFORE A BREACH OCCURS. The process provides a tremendous
benefit by reducing exposure to potential threats by as much as 90%. Combined
with the adoption of an on-going implementation of NCS services, the potential exposure to new threats
is further reduced.
Most of the existing
industry and government regulations recommend -- in many cases require -- the network audit be done by an independent
third party for the certification process. NCS provides
managerial DUE DILIGENCE by completely documenting the network vulnerability management process, test results, and fixes,
thereby indicating the status of the company networks throughout the compliance year.
The NCS technology
relies on sophisticated vulnerability management technology which is used worldwide in over 2,000 companies to scan 2,000,000
network devices per month. This technology has been used successfully by organizations
subject to the regulatory mandates imposed by PCI, HIPAA, SOX, GLBA, FISMA, and California Commerce Law.
All said, today's executives have
a problem. They bear the responsibility for the compliance of their data networks to regulatory standards
without usually having a complete understanding of this very technical area.. and often without having a staff sufficient
enough to properly address the standards.
Fortunately NCS offers an "On-Demand*"
solution which delivers the compliance testing, remediation, and certification that you need, as you need it.
There's neither expensive software
or hardware to buy, nor time-consumingly technology to install and maintain. Your
staff allocations are not affected... and the need for further staffing is unnecessary through the use of our service.
While Net Compliance Solutions delivers
many benefits at a technical level, we most importantly deliver due diligence and piece of mind at the executive
level, because it is YOU, upper management, who is responsible for its company's networks
meeting regulatory standards.
